Our Business By The Numbers

Data Solutions

Spirit lights up the region with over 20,000 route miles of our fiber-optic Ethernet and Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) to simplify the delivery of Voice, Data and Internet services. Our network is perfectly suited for organizations with multiple offices and offices with a mixed set of platforms.

As an expansion of Spirit’s managed services platform, Spirit’s DRaaS solution recognizes and addresses the problems caused by unplanned and planned disruptions.

Spirit’s DRaaS is a differentiated private cloud solution, housed in our enterprise grade data center, and supported by our dedicated development and support team. Spirit’s DRaaS provides a robust feature set, long-term retention and continuous replication at the virtualization/hypervisor layer resulting in a high-performance disaster recovery and archival solution. In combination with Spirit’s expansive On-Net fiber network, the DRaaS solution provides end-to-end security and reliability. In addition, the solution is storage agnostic; supporting mixed hypervisors and ensuring replication of any data center or site including private cloud, public cloud, service provider or branch office.

From one virtual workload to 1000, Spirit’s IaaS solution is massively scalable and designed to meet your needs

Spirit’s SD-WAN offering serves as an augment to our MPLS service and allows our customers to bond primary, secondary, and tertiary local broadband, Internet, and wireless connections in order to create a highly available, cost effective, integrated network.

ADVANTAGES OF SPIRIT SD-WAN

Express Cloud Access bypasses the public Internet and connects your WAN directly to a Cloud Service Provider

Access your cloud service provider (CSP) with the same speed, reliability and security as any other endpoint on your WAN. Express Cloud Access, reaches multiple cloud providers, establishing them as virtual endpoints on your WAN.

Benefits

Performance – Bypasses the public Internet to provide superior performance and reliability

Security – A private connection so data is never exposed to the public Internet

Flexibility – Reaches multiple CSPs without the need for a separate physical connection to each provider

Scalability – Configurable connections that are easily increased or changed as your business needs require

Features and Specifications

PROBLEM

Public Internet Access Limits Performance of Cloud-Based Software

Your company has cloud-based software and uses the public Internet to access it. Internet congestion and latency regularly affect your cloud access and routinely impact the performance of your cloud-based applications in a negative way. These performance issues must be resolved in order to maintain user productivity. Perhaps your organization is planning a move to the cloud. You need to ensure that once your resources are cloud-based, they will operate with the same availability and user experience as they do today. You cannot afford for either user experience or availability to be subject to unpredictable access to the cloud. And whether your data center applications are already in the cloud or they are heading there, you are most likely concerned about lack of security over the public Internet.

SOLUTION

Bypass Public Internet with Direct Cloud Access

To address these concerns, you need a fast and reliable connection to your Cloud Service Provider (CSP). Express Cloud Access service delivers exactly that, with direct connectivity to the cloud that bypasses the public Internet providing security, performance superior to that available on the public Internet.

Is your network becoming complex to manage? Are valued IT resources being pulled from business critical projects to keep up with the headaches of keeping network equipment operational and up to date?

Today’s networks traverse the world, supporting applications, databases, users, office and customers. Open architectures connect a multitude of devices and networks. Having the right management tools and skills around-the-clock can help reduce the impact to business productivity.

Simple LAN Managed Router

Spirit Simple LAN Managed Router customers benefit from cost savings and relief from operational headache by transitioning the tasks of router configuration, installation, maintenance and repair. Vital IT resources have more time to dedicate to business-critical projects and core business needs.

Simple LAN Managed Switch

Spirit Simple LAN Managed Switch takes the guess work out of local LAN switch management. Spirit deploys managed Gigabit PoE port switches with the option of 10 Gigabit Fiber based WAN uplinks to allow for optimal speed and efficiency when delivering customer traffic to devices and desktops.

Simple LAN Managed Wi-Fi AP’s

Growing Wi-Fi demands can be difficult to keep up with and a headache to manage. Spirit Communications Managed Wi-Fi solution simplifies WLAN setup and management. Provisioning, monitoring, and troubleshooting of Wi-Fi network are handled by Spirit certified Wi-Fi architects and technicians. Spirit has the tools and expertise to conduct a pre and post site survey of your environment to ensure optimum Wi-Fi connectivity throughout your building or campus.

Flexible throughput routing and switching options

Because no two customer environments are the same, Spirit uses a careful, multi-phased, approach to ensure the successful deployment of our Managed Wireless Solution.

Gather Customer Requirements

In an effort to understand exactly how the wireless solution will perform, we work closely with the customer to gather critical information. This information includes details such as scaled floor plans, the number and type of devices requiring access, the types of applications used and their bandwidth requirements, areas of high user density, number of SSID’s required, security requirements, cosmetic constraints, and an understanding of the existing wired infrastructure.

Analyze Customer's Environment

A Spirit Wi-Fi expert will run a spectrum analysis that allows us to detect any RF energy that could potentially cause interference with the wireless solution design. This helps Spirit’s Wi-Fi expert make informed decisions during critical steps of the design process.

Design Wi-Fi Capacity Requirements

After capturing all of the data points, including Spectrum Analysis, Spirit’s Wi-Fi expert will begin the design process. The first step in this process is to utilize our Wi-Fi capacity planner, which does the “Math” behind our designs. The Wi-Fi capacity planner quickly processes a large number of data points. Using it we can determine the total number of access points needed, along with the Internet bandwidth requirements for yourenvironment.

Implement with Predictive Modeling

All of the information compiled to this point, including scaled floor plans, can now be imported into our predictive modeling software that will allow us to “virtually” design the wireless infrastructure. While looking at how signal propagation will occur within the property, our expert also layers on the other requirements gathered during the process, ensuring that our design meets your requirements. The Wi-Fi expert will present you with different tools, such as heat maps, that will help you visualize the solution.

Test with Post-Deployment Survey

Following deployment, Spirit’s Wi-Fi expert will conduct a post- deployment survey confirming that what we predictively designed translates to reality. Like the predictive model, this step utilizes various visual tools.
